Liparidae (Snailfishes)
Etymology: Psednos: Greek, psednos, -e, -on = rare (Ref. 45335); micruroides: From Barnard's original specific name micrurus, and used because of the similarity between the two species (Ref. 42989).
More on author: Chernova.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ekologi
marina batypelagisk; djupintervall 0 - 900 m (Ref. 42989). Deep-water
Northeast Atlantic: southeast of Greenland.
Size / Vikt / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 3.1 cm SL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 42989)
Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 38; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 30; Ryggkotor: 43. Coronal pore present, 6th infraorbital pore absent, 3-4 pores in temporal canal; eye 22.7% HL, mouth terminal, and gill slit equal to eye diameter (Ref. 42989).
Caught in a midwater trawl (Ref. 42989). Reported maximum length of 3.1 cm SL was based on a subadult specimen (Ref. 42989). Preliminary maximum length assumed as 6.5 cm TL.
